At the beginning of the 17th century, Jadwiga of Jazloviec-Belzska invited the Dominican fathers to Murafa, who founded a monastery here and built the church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, which has survived to this day.

The village of Murafa on the bank of the river of the same name is located 10 kilometers east of Sharhorod.

At the end of the 18th century, Count Joachim Karol Pototsky made a great contribution to the development of the city. He built a saltpeter plant, established a palace and a park with a menagerie (not preserved), and also reconstructed a monastery. Another architectural landmark is the Ascension Church (1788).

Murafa is considered the birthplace of the legendary basket chieftain of the Zaporizhzhia Nizovy Army, Ivan Sirko, who was born between 1605 and 1610.

Село Мурафа на березі однойменної річки розташоване в 10 кілометрах на схід від Шаргорода.

Відоме з 1432 року, коли неподалік відбулася битва русько-литовського князя Федора Острозького з польськими військами. В кінці XVI століття князь Миколай Язловецький заклав замок і містечко Морахва. Наступними власниками були магнати Белзькі, Тишкевичі та Потоцькі.

На початку XVII століття Ядвіга Язловецька-Белзська запросила до Мурафи отців-домініканців, які заснували тут монастир і побудували костел Непорочного Зачаття Діви Марії, що зберігся дотепер.

В кінці XVIII століття великий внесок у розвиток міста вніс граф Йоахім Кароль Потоцький. Він побудував селітровий завод, заклав палац і парк зі звіринцем (не збереглися), а також реконструював монастир. Ще одна архітектурна пам'ятка - Воздвиженська церква (1788 рік).

Мурафа вважається батьківщиною легендарного кошового отамана Війська Запорозького Низового Івана Сірка, який народився між 1605 і 1610 роками.

Immaculate Conception of Blessed Virgin Mary Church

Temple , Architecture

The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Murafa was founded in 1624 by Dominican monks who came to the village at the invitation of Jadwiga Yazlovetska-Belzhetska, the granddaughter of the great crown hetman Yuriy Yazlovetsky.

Until 1850, there was a Dominican monastery near the church, surrounded by defensive walls with corner towers (the north-eastern hexagonal brick tower and a section of the southern and eastern walls have been preserved). A two-story building of cells in the Baroque style has also been preserved.

The church was damaged during the War of Liberation, but was restored at the expense of Count Yoakhim Karol Potocki, which is reminded of by his family coat of arms, a commemorative plaque and a portrait in full dress above the side door. After the reconstruction, the temple retained its baroque features, emphasized by the architecture of the portal with two high towers.

After the closure of the monastery by the Russian authorities, the Church of the Immaculate Conception became a parish church, it remained active even during almost the entire Soviet period. Thanks to this, not only the exterior decor, but also the interiors with stucco, stained glass, and wall frescoes have been perfectly preserved.

The main shrine of the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Murafa (XVII century) in the main altar.
